HEH. Not even close to the story I've heard. I don't think anybody is afraid of you tm. You're the one wanting a restraining order. Then, why did he (unsuccessfully) try to get one?  Afraid of little 'ol me? Yer gonna kick the dog one too many times, and yer gonna get bit.  POWDERMAN. 

Consider the source(s) you got the info from...about as credible as anything a politician would promise.  

[#59]

tg. I did consider the source, and find them more credible than you. 

Just to maintain balance, I find you to be about 5 clicks lower than teats on a boarhog...once a stooge, always a stooge.

Charlie,

In summary, I believe you to be the walking testament to the adage.."never argue with a fool as they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience"...and so, when you have something of worth to say, please feel to post up...IMHO, that'll be at least ~10 years.

[#59]

tg. HEH, every time you try to engage in a battle of wits, you run out of ammunition too quick. POWDERMAN. 

Yep, especially with a nitwit.

You are a better judge of what a nitwit consists of than I. POWDERMAN.

Cut the shit out both of you. If you have nothing to say then damn it don't say anything.

Bill,

You can express yourself when you want to, can't you?  And I bet that you don't even have one of those "Exhorters Permits" that some churches issue their young, beginning preachers.

Let's talk more about bigfoot hunting--and do more of it.

[Bill]

When you see me break from normal posting methods it is to let folks know with no doubt or uncertainty I am sick and tired of it and expect such actions to end immediately. Otherwise I'll use my normal posting language. When I break from that I am deadly serious and am prepared to take whatever actions necessary to end the actions I'm unhappy with if the parties being spoken to can't end them without my help. I don't like to do that but I want it abundantly clear I am not in the mood for any more of the actions being addressed.

When I set this site up I wanted it to be a notch above the average Bigfoot site a place where folks could seriously discuss the topic and the critter. I want it to be a place where both believers and non believers in Bigfoot can come and peacefully discuss both sides of the issue. I did not and do not want it to be a place that folks consider a pissing contest for personal attacks and name calling. I do not want it to be a personal sounding board for anyone's personal vedetta against any other.

I had about decided to give up on it and just let it go to pot and allow anyone to do anything but it's really just not in my nature to do that. I unbanned those few individuals who were previously banned and threw it open to all comers. Then Doug returned and showed me the side of him I just absolutely cannot and will not tolerate anywhere any time for any reason.

I really don't care who posts here but I guess deep down I do care HOW folks post. It's just not in my nature to ignore such rude and crass behavior from folks. I still don't care who posts here but if anyone is in fact going to post here they will follow some reasonable rules of decorum and behave them selves in a manner as adults or if children then as well behaved children. I do not expect adults to behave as children.

If people can't follow some simple rules of behavior then I don't want them wasting my time or bandwidth and would rather see the site fold than to become a place for the language Doug seems unable to avoid or the types of inunnedo and attacks he immediately began upon being allowed back.

I have no real profit motive in this site and for sure it costs me far more than the tiny amount the Google ads might bring in. This is the only site we still have them on so it's unlikely we'll get more than one check a year from Google if even that. We take no donations to support it and I pay all expenses of it from my pocket. I don't wish to make it into any sort of commercial site but would like it to be a "breath of fresh air" in the bigfoot community where personal attacks, name calling and the sort of behavior so obviously displayed by BM on his return to the site. I do not want it and will not allow it to be used as a sounding board for a personal vedetta against Doug, Darren or Harrington. I hope that is abundantly clear from this point forward.

If they or anyone commit an act of hoaxing that someone has definitive proof is a hoax then fine we can discuss the hoax but not the personalities of the hoaxer. But the type of stuff that has been going on is not going to continue to go on here.

[Ray Ford]

...the type of stuff that has been going on is not going to continue to go on here.

Bill,

Sounds good to me.

Have you ever read "Transactional Analysis," a book that was popular several decades ago.  My own memory of it is vague, but I think the author--I don't remember who he was--posited that everyone had an inner adult, an inner parent, and an inner clild.  The healthiest transactions (interactions) were adult-to-adult.  The unhealthiest transactions were child-to-child.  A power play was being made when one person tried to "hook" another person's child with their parent.  If someone tried to "hook" your child with their child or parent, your best defense was to respond, not from your inner child, but from your inner adult.  Get the idea.

I can think--without going back and reading old posts--of at least one transaction that I shut down by responding, when another person tried to "hook" my child with what I perceived to be his child, out of my adult.  I think that we have seen some instances where one person's child successfully "hooked" another person's child--and the fight was on!.  That kind of transaction (interaction) ain't productive.

One good thing about another site that you and I are both aware of is that it makes the suggestion that everyone behave like adults.  Doesn't seem to me that it always happens there, but it is a good idea.

Alright!...this is a BF (or is it BS) website!...lay off the Dr. Phil moments! 

[Ray Ford]

John,

I'll try, but it isn't easy.  Since I received considerable psychological training right along with my theological stuff in preparation for preaching and pastoring, it is almost as hard to NOT psychoanalize and it is to NOT preach.
 
BTW, I think Dr. Phil is more of an entertainer than a psychologist.

Reckon it's time to head out to Spencer creek and check out the deer plots I established on the land we hunt.  Maybe, something other than deer have been frequenting them?

[#59]

Went down to Spencer creek this PM w/bow in hand...saw several nice sets of tracks (deer) along with many raccoon & beaver tracks along the creekbank from where it makes the last western bend (toward the lake proper) and upstream to the COE line located just past where the 07/02 photo's were taken.

Didn't hear a single vocalisation which is the first time in recent memory that has happened.

Visited with the landowners (whose land I have permission to hunt on) and it seems they've had the SO out 2X in the recent past and filed incident reports for cut fences up on the south part of their place near what has been referred to as Rattlesnake Canyon and also is where they found some cameras illegally installed upon their land as well.

With several head of cattle on their ranch, cut fences could become problematic especially if rustlers are around.  I suggested they contact the Farm Bureau Range Investigator as they know how best to deal with that type of problem.

Seems there were 4 wheeler trackways going through these cuts into their property and we surmised the illegal camera owners were the likely perpetrators.

Trespassers are bad medicine. 

[Bill]

Cameras placed illegally should be confiscated and finger prints taken from them for possible identification of the trespassers. I have no use for trespassers and believe the FULL force of the law should be placed on them. Those who'd cut fences knowing cattle are inside should see jail time.

[darkwinglh]

What he forgot to mention though Bill, is that the cameras were not placed on someone else's land, and if he has knowledge of where they are located at, then that makes him an accessory to knowingly concealing stolen property.  I made a copy of this and forwarded it to the appropriate authorities, who will more than likely like to ask him of his involvement now that he has posted this on the internet.
